Durbin Statement On House Republicans Passing Their Billionaire Tax Giveaway Bill, Stripping Services From Americans
13.7 million Americans will lose their health care coverage under Republicans’ “one, big, beautiful bill”
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) released the following statement slamming House Republicans for passing their reconciliation bill—legislation that will pay for tax breaks for billionaires at the expense of working families:
“Republicans’ reconciliation bill dismantles the American Dream and strips health care, food assistance, and more away from millions of hardworking Americans. Republicans are taking a chainsaw to critical services that American families depend on and using them as a piggy bank for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. It’s simple: Billionaires win. And American families lose, all thanks to President Trump.
“Now, it is on four Senate Republicans with the good sense to join Democrats and say ‘no’ to President Trump and this disaster.”
